I thought the same thing for a moment, but really it is no more degrading than calling a man 'dude'. A lot of girls also refer to themselves as chicks. It's not that big a deal, though I would have prefered they used the term 'woman'.
Sure it's incredibly rude if you get caught but hardly in the realm of some evil raping of personal space.
It is incredibly rude, not to mention unethical, even if you don't get caught. Your comment is rather telling about your own personal sense of ethics though since you seem to think it's not wrong unless someone catches you.
I am just the opposite. I work from home about half the time and travel the other half. I get far more work done when at home than when at the remote (for me) office. Too many interruptions and distractions.
It takes a certain mindset and some discipline to telecommute, but for those of us who can do so it's a godsend.
You missed the key word there...professional. It means one who makes money from their profession. Developing to standards is great but it doesn't necessarily put food on the table. Idealism is nice, but it can cause one to starve. My guess is you are still in school and haven't had to pay any bills?
Thank you, and thanks to everyone else who gave cogent replies. I was genuinely curious and not trying to be argumentative. It's not my field but it's one I am interested in as a layman.
There is no legal problem if they reverse enginneer it and don't copy the socket design. There is not a single legal barrier to making a processor that can decode x86 instructions.
Um no. More like long ago Intel needed a second source for CPU's and contracted AMD, granting a license in the process. AMD didn't start making any superior advances in CPU design for quite some time after that.
Maybe in general, but I have no qualms about killing sentient creatures for food. In the past when I've had to I've always made the kill as humanely as possible, but food is food.
On that note, I've begun cataloging where the Vegans in my neighborhood live. If civilization collapses they go first.
Brain size in humans has less to do with intelligence as does brain structure. For example, Einstein's brain was not larger than normal but was missing some structures typically found and other regions were larger than normal.
To my knowledge there has never been any correlation found between brain size and intelligence in humans. If you have a citation I would like to see it for my own edification.
True, but I was thinking that the software could profile/benchmark both cards at startup. What you say makes sense though, and like I said I only gave TFA a cursory viewing.
I gave TFA a quick perusal and it looks like some sort of profiling is done. I was about to ask about how it handled load balancing when using GPU's of disparate power, but perhaps that has something to do with it. It may even run some type of micro-benchmarks to determine which card has more power and then distribute the load accordingly.
I'll reserve judgement until I see reviews of it really working. From TFA it looks like it has some interesting potential capabilities, especially for multi-monitor use.
Very insightful. One of the things I've always said was a strenght of OSS was that it provided redundancy of that nature. Even if one fork/project of a given set of code fails, if the idea is worthy it will live on.
I prefer fresh ingredients. I don't eat anything pre packaged so fresh meat/fish/produce is a must. The store is also only a mile from home. Keep trying.
Not quite. I usually shop almost daily, and get 12 items or less, and get out through the line before the guy next to me is done fumbling with the self service machine.
I will start using self checkout when they start giving me a discount on my purchase for the money they save on a cashier. Until then I'll keep on using the cashier lines, that is while they still exist.
I know. I was speaking more for the benefit of those who take these things quite literally. Intelligent design can make for interesting thought experiments too.

Or they could use something nerds are really afraid of, girls.
Or soap. Or sunlight.

Now...get off my lawn.
Then you've been sleeping with your head up your ass. They've been around a lot longer than the time since China was awarded the Olympics.

Crows have been observed making tools and using them.
Birds are in general a lot smarter than we've given them credit for. It might be time to rethink the term 'bird brain'.

You're xbox gamr thing is just a sterotype, idio.t
Actually your response and lack of spelling, grammar, and punctuation usage ability underscores his point quite nicely.
Hell yeah I'm a perv, and my wife *wears* a plaid skirt and tight sweater for me on special occasions.

Yes, it is dead. Netcraft confirms it.

Nice try though.

I see the multi-worlds and multiple universe hypotheses as being not much better than intelligent design. None of them can ever be proven.
...it would really sting knowing that they were caught because of a bee.
